Five injured in crash on 24th Street in Yuma
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) is investigating a crash which left five people injured Saturday night.
According to a press release, the crash happened at the intersection of 24th Street and Pacific Avenue at around 7:45 p.m.
YPD says a 20-year-old man was riding a Suzuki motorcycle southbound on Pacific Avenue when he crashed into a Ford Flex, driven by a 23-year-old woman, which was "making a left-hand turn onto 24th Street" after driving northbound on Pacific Avenue.
As a result, YPD says the motorcyclist was taken to Onvida Health, but was flown to a Phoenix area hospital in serious condition, while the driver of the Ford, along with three adult passengers, were taken to Onvida Health with minor injuries.
While YPD says the speed of the Suzuki appears to be a factor in the crash, the investigation is ongoing.
